This is hand-picked, premium Shanlin Xi oolong tea that was scented with fragrant jasmine flowers.

When you open the tea package, you can immediately smell the elegant fragrance of jasmine flowers. This floral scent is natural and relaxing. The first sip taste still feels like high mountain Shanlin Xi oolong tea with its distinct forest scent, but it is immediately followed by a soft scent of jasmine. During the second round, the floral scent is much more obvious; the aroma is like jasmine flowers blooming in the teacup. The fragrance of flowers is still natural and comfortable, and you will not feel a sickly sweet or artificial taste. The magic is that the base of oolong tea is still very good, with great Hui Gan. In the third round, tea has a green apple aroma. In this round, The scent of jasmine is delicate.

Dry leaves are light brown, with a distinct honey and brown sugar aroma. If you allow the leaves to steam in a heated teapot or Gaiwan, you will notice the leaves emit a lovely osmanthus and logan flower aroma.

Drinking the first round of brewing, you’ll taste a delightful mix of honey and longan fruit. There is also a subtle aromatic hint of osmanthus flowers in full bloom. The second round is sweet and floral, with added notes of baker’s spice and sandalwood. The honey sweetness grows in intensity during the finish. The third round sees a slight shift away from the honey note, towards a more longan-forward flavor.
